Mufulira is strategically positioned about 16 km from the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo . It also serves as an important gateway connecting the Copperbelt Province to Luapula Province, making Luapula part of Mufuliraโs commercial hinterland.
The town is well connected by road infrastructure:
These connections make Mufulira an important economic and social hub for surrounding communities, which is why Future-Preneurs Zambia focuses its community empowerment and governance programs in this area and across Zambia.

On 4th September 2025, Future-Preneurs Zambia (FPSZ) launched the Village Chicken Empowerment Initiative under the theme โHope of Youth at Door Step,โ aimed at improving livelihoods among youths and women through sustainable poultry production. The initiative was designed to promote income generation, enhance household food security, and empower beneficiaries with practical, low-cost agricultural skills.
Through this project, 20 youths were supported with startup poultry packages consisting of 10 village chicks each, starter feed, and vaccination support. The project adopted a โpass-onโ model where beneficiaries, after six months, return one mature chicken to support new participants.
The project recorded strong success, with all beneficiaries actively engaged in poultry farming, improving income opportunities, food security, and skills development while strengthening community cooperation.
The initiative has had economic, social, and household-level impact, improving self-reliance, boosting confidence among youths, and enhancing nutrition for families.
FPSZ appreciates Heinz and family for their support and Zikulu Nkuku for supplying quality chicks.
Despite challenges such as limited resources and disease risks, the initiative remains a sustainable and scalable model for youth empowerment.

Before the project, Adrian Nsama had no practical skills and no capital to start a business. Opportunities felt distant, and self-reliance seemed out of reach. That changed when the project introduced him to structured training, hands-on mentorship, and the support of a community savings group.
Through the skills he acquired, Adrian established a small but growing enterprise focused on raising and selling tree seedlings, contributing not only to his household income but also to environmental sustainability in his community. With access to savings and financial discipline learned through the group, he diversified his income further by starting a small trade in paraffin, sold in affordable quantities to meet local demand.
Today, Adrian supports his family with dignity and confidence. His journey has transformed how he is perceived and how he sees himself. Once underestimated, he is now a respected example of determination, opportunity, and community support. His story continues to inspire many young people and women in his community to rise, lead, and thrive.
